A repository is a persistent store that coordinates multi-user access to
projects and their contents. Projects in a repository can be of two forms:
immutable (a project version) or modifiable (project in a stream). Communication between the repository and workbench clients is possible over
local or wide area networks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>
